Black Orpheus

[bucksix1]

I have watched this movie many many times and this scene always makes me cry as it is doing right now. From the acting, the music, the cinamatography, and everything else for my money, this is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.

[herFLYness79]

saw this yrs ago and fell in love. i need to find the dvd!

[mistatronik]

as far as movie endings go, they don't get more brilliant (or beautiful) than this scene.

[AlainMarcus]

@cb108 absolutely

[WeirdAlysa]

that adorable child looks like Bruno Mars!

[sananchicagio]

@ sexycatd- I have this movie saved in my Netflix Que and in my own DVD collection. It's available through Amazon too.

[sumitsijher]

lol can you post a guitar tab??

[sexycatd]

I once seen this movie on the Turner Classic Movie channel and I've tried looking for it, but can't find it anywhere. Where can I find this?

[helloworldvp]

One of my favorites!!

[ualflygal]

A PERFECT FILM.

[donnaedman]

I am trying to remember the name of the boy in this movie who became a famous percussionist, playing the qweeka and pandeiro. Does anyone know his name? Appreciate your help.

[mauishadon]

This is the 1st melody my grandma taught me and it led me down a path to make music.

[Snowhill3]

man if we could only go back to our joyful days of childhood...

[Snowhill3]

if he playin tht guitar..thn i am too

[TheXtianVleeger]

look its bruno mars on guitar!

[Hbrute]

wow! that kid is hella doing some bboy top rock! precursor to bboying i guess

[LlulyHerrera04]

is the boy play thue guitar??

[ForARide]

Orpheu Negro and Francois Truffauts The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) are probably the most poetic films in cinema history!

Both endings are simply overwhelming!

[rodito75]

this is probably one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema history. how wonderful! it always makes my day a lot happier :o)

[chris96kalonji]

Huey P. Newton is loved.

[kentuckyblackbird]

Check IMDB.com for info mon this movie......

[kentuckyblackbird]

Thanks for this post. It is one of my favorite scenes, although the movie was ending! My most favorite was the Samba scenes near the beginning where Orpheu's fiance danced with several different men and gave us an instant feeling of Carnaval! This was a special movie...

[kentuckyblackbird]

Thanks for this post. It is one of my favorites! My most favorite was the Samba scenes near the beginning where Orpheu's fiance danced with several men! This was a special movie...

[Blacklemon67a]

Thank you for posting.

[emav1027]

agumon12...you're the nigger!!! I don't use the word and find it offensive but for you I made an exception!

I love this movie and the dance scenes...the children are beautiful...always makes me smile...thx for posting!

[shabfarhadi]

Who else didn't know about this movie till Obama mentioned it in his Brazil speech?

[onlyoneme72032]

Saw this movie a few months ago for the first time. One word for it Enchanting!  Made me really interested in Brazil especially in this time period. A true classic!!!!!!

[ag15ui11na19ldo80]

@onlyoneme72032 This time is long gone my friend...nowadays nothing but nostalgia remains of this era...undoubtedly the most beautiful era that Brazil has ever known....nothing but saudade remains :)

[genvieve25]

I brought my daughter to see this film when she was six years old at Tulane University... she loved it. Odly enough she related to Sarafina instead of her cousin, who is the star of the show.....But then again she was only 6 years old, and did not understand the whole meaning of the myth or story wonce told. This film in my opinion has great impotance for inspiration.

[hlochte]

@genvieve25 that is so interesting! as i was looking up clips from this film to show my husband, i was telling him about my parents taking me to see this film when i was quite young. probably around your daughter's age. all i remembered from it for quite some time was some vivid images. i did not fully understand it but it stuck with me.

[urthcreature]

it might be available on Netflix :) And on TV on mardi gras maybe

[urthcreature]

this scene is so moving at the end of the movie, when the children play Orpheus's guitar for him to make the sun rise, and you see Orpheus's animals running loose down the hillside while the kids are dancing :) makes me cry! thanks for posting it, it is so sweet.

[stefalbert]

Watched this movie over and over again.....soooo beautiful ! And this beautiful song alway's making me smile.....;-))

[jelliat]

goosebumps

[Ruthiena]

ITS BRUNO MARS!!!!!! lol

[SheBeis]

@Ruthiena Haha that does look like him

[jastercilla]

Qué bonito cómo presenta la inocencia de la infancia y además, lo innato que tienen los niños brasileños el ritmo en su sangre. Preciosa escena de una preciosa película de banda sonora preciosa.

[JazZYJProds1]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS MOVIE?!

[johnnyblues777]

@JazZYJProds1 It probably will not be online. It's a bit on the harder side to find.

[redmondgar]

I have to rent this movie again...such a feast of mythic proportions!

[Jazzyteach65]

This film PERFECTLY articulates my philosophy of life: universality!

[Saoff]

HELP!

This clip is amazing and I am trying to find a similar recorded version with the percussive acoustic and kids singing, does one exist??? I checked over youtube and I only see different versions. Much thanks!

[minaees]

@Saoff It's the last track on the reissued sound track to the film. Try Amazon.

[Saoff]

@minaees thanks so much!

[magnolianiac]

this is too lovely for words... proud to be Brazilian! :)

[hellokittypikachu]

I saw this movie when I was eight, and I was totally enchanted. I just saw it tonight, and It reminded me of it so I told my father all that I remember and it was totally correct, I love this movie. The most enchanting one I have ever seen. I love it to death.

[ccrroofftteerr67]

Silly! Poor Orpheus...

[phainopeplapottery]

My favorite movie...

[negoman04]

[dalki37tours]

[4thaLuvofMuzic]

so beautiful

[696cristina]

I love this video!!!!

[gummylipstick]

really nice clip

[momenia444]

I love this scene! After the tragedy, these children and the music... The real masterpiece.

[HungryEars]

Orfeu Negro is such an excellent film! Direction, music, cinematography, story, writing, acting, costumes: all are excellent! In addition, one can see in this film a representation of Rio de Janeiro and carnaval in the late 50s. Without a doubt, one of my top ten favorite films of all time.

[Saoff]

@Goosesteps you idiot

[sublidieminal]

My favorite two minutes of film ever.

[WolfsbaneRevolution]

Brazil is such a beautiful country with beautiful people

[winstonbac]

i have seen so many movies in my life and this is one of the best movies i have ever seen ...brooklyn new york

[mariadelamor21]

Hay algo más delicioso y encantador que ésto?

Uno ama la pelicula Black Orpheus como un film mágico. Y dentro de él esta secuencia es mítica. Respira, vuela, baila, juega...Y no desprende su pie de esa tierra singular cuya sola visión lo deja a uno boquiabierto.

.

[jwahh]

One of the best films ever made.

[eyezsosexi]

I saw this movie once, and said that i was gonna show my little girl who is now 10yrs of age. This was a beautiful story. :-)

[Sendmommy0524]

I get goosebumps whenever I catch the end of Black Orpheus.The film itself is wonderful, but even you can't sit through it all, the last few minutes (Orpheus going to fetch his dead love Eurydice - only to be killed himsel by the stone of his jealous lover - tumbling to his death and resting with Eurydice in his arms) is worth it all. But these children dancing to this wonderful little song , and the beauty of the Brazilian countryside as a backdrop are truly the prize at the end! Thx for this!

[LCBpink]

I still don't get the ending of movie. Is there even something to get from the ending, or was it something to just enjoy? Either way I still like the movie.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@LCBpink This isnt how the Greek story ends but I think its to end the movie on a lighter note and show that it wasnt all for nothing, cause the torch was passed along to that little kid and it hints him and the little girl liking each other just like orpheus and eurydice

[prouddemocrat27]

@LCBpink The film is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, except through the story of two poor black Brazilians. When both die, a boy takes up Orpheus's old guitar and becomes the new Orpheus, and the girl, the new Eurydice. So the myth repeats, and is retold again, just as it has been retold again and again since ancient Greece....

[prouddemocrat27]

@LCBpink ....This is why the opening and closing frames of the film show an Ancient Greek stone frieze of Orpheus and Eurydice, to show the persistence of the themes of Love, Disobedience, and Destiny, and how those themes are still told, resonate, and apply, both in the Old and New World, white and black, among deities or slum-dwellers.

To me its a powerful and emotional message of the power and persistence of Art and the human condition.

[LCBpink]

@prouddemocrat27 Thanks for your clear explanation of the ending. Prior to watching this story I knew nothing about the Greek mythology of Orpheus.

[edtechlab1]

The best!

[edtechlab1]

Beautiful! Best ending of a film that I know!

[Flux812]

Is this a certain song? Or is it just a tune?

[JSSEMUS1C]

@Flux812 It's called samba do orfeu :D

[brazimjp]

adorei.. ate chorei..ai que saudades .

adoro tudo que e Brasil.

[6soleluna9]

Il più bel film della mia vita... Grazie Vinicus!

[Vincent50]

The first time I ever saw this movie was in high school in the early 70s. We all fell in love with this movie and I would love to see it again.

[BelAge]

Magical. Still. After all these years.

[Threeload]

I thought Brazil only recently made outstanding films like City of God, this is a revelation to me.

[zarath00stra]

@Threeload this was actually done by a french filmmaker, marcel camus.

[Threeload]

@zarath00stra

Thanks for informing, Marcel Camus should have become a mega-star legend after this work of genius.

[Threeload]

I heard about the magic of this Oscar winning film, I must see it, it looks fascinating.

[bassfima]

WOW! I haven't seen this in years. Remember the music so well. Thanks you.

Yes I rented the DVD from Hollywood Videos in Hartford CT, and it a selection for the English dubbed version or one could watch it in the original Portuguese version.

[Quaaysan]

The BEST movie I have ever seen/owned

[billny36]

This is the one movie to see, the one place to experience, and a magical ending. Bonfa's music lives on

This is a sad story but it ends in a note of hope, with Orpheu and Eurydice begin reborn in the younger generation.

[mickelmoe]

I love this movie. My mother told me she was going to name me Eurydice after the female star of this movie.
